David Mateos has been the source of contention in Orlando City circles for the past few weeks. Less than 18 months after joining the Lions from Hungarian club Ferencvárosi TC, the Real Madrid academy product has caused a stir regarding a possible exit. Mateos, who has made 27 league appearances since arriving in 2015, is one of the most expensive players on the Lions’ books, which is the cause for most concern. He was guaranteed over $450,000 in 2016 according the the MLS Players Union, good enough for fourth-highest. He also suffered an MCL tear in October that cut his season short.
